Sunday, 7 September 2008The Kabeedies on NR One records The Kabeedies 1. Palindromes 2. King Canute 3. Coaster Game (Acoustic) Label: NR ONE RECORDS Quantity Pressed: 500 Release Date: 1st Sep 2008 There are bands that try that fusion of catchy dance and indie rock, that's a feat in itself but to sound like they are genuinely having fun doing it and translate that in the studio recording is something else entirely...and The Kabeedies are doing that in spades. 'Palindromes', the A side recklessly throws out mad basslines and guitar that, when dissected, sounds completely unrelated, but somehow is working at high speed, accompanied by feverish percussion and multiple vocals from all channels. Every member has to singing at some point, sounding like they are all battling to be heard over the ever changing beat...it's a overwhelming study in making something out of nothing, it's not rocket science, but moving bodies and at that it's an overwhelming success. Absolutely reminding me of the joyous noise of Los Campesinos or The Unicorns (R.I.P.), it's amusing and smart, the perfect combination. Another track on the single 'King Canute' is built from more toe tapping basslines and swapping time signature drums with a vocal back and forth that defies composition. There is clearly an organization here, but it's impossible to follow or deconstruct and holds up to repeated listenings, the music complexity deceptively working against the unassuming lyrics. Sounding young enough to have just left the playground and instead focused their talents on a unique off kilter enthusiastic rock chock full of pop culture references. A winner.
